Conclusion: Ginkgo biloba extracts have shown the greatest cognitive and functional benefits, though their clinical significance remains uncertain, and certainty of evidence is overall low. Future trials should focus on a single VCI subtype, prioritize interventions with a strong mechanistic rationale, standardize diagnostic criteria, ensure adequate power for chosen outcomes, test against placebo, and implement FAIR data sharing to accelerate therapeutic discovery.
